To verify your mom being your dependent, you can go back to the My Info section. At the end of your dependent questions, you will receive a short paragraph explaining why your mom is or is not your qualified dependent.

Or, you can look at your tax summary or 1040. Each qualified person on your tax return is given $4050 per person.


If you want to view your Tax Summary and/or your 1040,

and click on >Preview my 1040.

Yes, my Mom is already added in My Info section - is there anything else that I need to do? Or is that all? - Thanks.
